Time magazine has named German chancellor Angela Merkel its Person of the Year, citing her resolve in leading Europe through this summer’s Greek debt crisis, and her encouragement of other countries to open their borders to migrants and refugees.

This is the last paragraph of the article:

At a moment when much of the world is once more engaged in a furious debate about the balance between safety and freedom, the Chancellor is asking a great deal of the German people, and by their example, the rest of us as well. To be welcoming. To be unafraid. To believe that great civilizations build bridges, not walls, and that wars are won both on and off the battlefield. By viewing the refugees as victims to be rescued rather than invaders to be repelled, the woman raised behind the Iron Curtain gambled on freedom. The pastor’s daughter wielded mercy like a weapon. You can agree with her or not, but she is not taking the easy road. Leaders are tested only when people don’t want to follow. For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is TIME’s Person of the Year.

Meh. I was Time's person of the year in 2006. It's not a big deal.

Merkel, like Hitler, will impose policies that will be disastrous to Jews in Europe. I can see why a left leaning rag like Time would give her this honor.

Pow! Straight for the irrelevent Godwin!

Pow! Straight for the irrelevent Godwin!

Actually, its relevant. It concerns a German chancellor, a magazine that is giving an honor to one of those chancellors that it gave to the other, and both chancellors are implementing policies that will be disastrous for Europe's Jewish population.

Your charge of Godwin has failed. Reality has won.

That painting of her on the cover looked depressing. I guess it reflects how some Germans don't like her anymore for that.

TIME stopped trying years ago. Considering all of us have already been given that title they have no one else left.

I don't recall you ever being Time's person of the year.

Uh, yeah, I know. Me. Not Thunder Peel.

Heil Merkel! Der Furher das EU!

(Or so she thinks)

 

[Tallguy88]

Seriously though. She thinks she rules Europe. All she does is push the EU closer to the brink. Greece may still leave over the debt crisis. The UK votes on it next year I think.

Merkel's strong arm tactics are not good for long term European stability. Both her handling of the refugee situation, or her economic policies.

Britain wants to quit Europe: Shock new poll shows EU 'no' camp ahead for the first time as Cameron prepares to face down Tory rebels

A majority of British people would vote to leave the European Union in the wake of the migrant crisis engulfing the continent, a shock new Mail on Sunday poll has found.

If a referendum were to be held tomorrow on whether to remain a member of the EU, 51 per cent of British people would vote ‘No’.

I read this issue yesterday. Time gushed over Merkel with the same glowing sycophancy as they always have Obama, and praised her decision embracing national suicide repeatedly. What I really found interesting, however, was the short list for the award.

Second on Time's list for Person of the Year was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. Time had a number of nice things to say about him as well.

Makes sense, in a twisted manner. Merkel is embracing a policy which, within a few generations, will render Germany virtually nonexistent. And the runner up for the award is the guy who will happily assist her in making that happen.

Bruce Jenner also made the list, along with Hassan Rouhani.

This is the last paragraph of the article:

Merkel is an idiot. Muslims are the 7th head of Satan and have started the Battle of Ar Mageddon, and should not be let into a Christian nation to kill us. I predict that some of the Muslim immigrants she has let into Germany will soon stage a Paris-style attack there. What will she say then?

If they don't what will you say?

Maybe we should drop 100-pound hailstones on them.

I have been making predictions since 1992, and all of my predictions have come true. Have yours?

Most Germans evidently agree with me because Merkel is slipping badly in the polls since the Paris attack, and there is now a movement underway to depose her. And the guy who is most likely to replace her has promised to build a fence to keep immigrants out of Germany.

That is a bit harsh, but one of Merkel's opponents has proposed putting them in concentrations camps.
